General Information
La Planta 2023 is one of the most affordable wines made by Arzuaga Navarro and is notable for its youth, exuberance and excellent value. It’s a red created from Tempranillo grapes grown on the estate after which it’s named: Finca La Planta, located only a few kilometres away from the winery in Quintanilla de Onésimo (Valladolid), in what is known as the ‘golden mile’ of Ribera del Duero.
On Finca La Planta the vines grow at an altitude of more than 900 metres in calcareous-clay soil and enjoy a continental climate. The bunches of Tempranillo grapes were harvested by hand in small 15-kg creates. At the winery the best berries were selected and, following careful processing, the wine was aged for 6 months in French and American oak barrels.
Florentino Arzuaga chose one of the most privileged areas of Ribera del Duero, the district of Quintanilla de Onésimo (Valladolid), to establish his winery: Bodegas Arzuaga Navarro (1987). He began planting the La Planta estate and carried on expanding the vineyard’s area to the 154 hectares it currently controls and set about building facilities, which are also a major centre for wine tourism.
La Planta 2023 is perfect with baby lamb chops or meat dishes such as beef Wellington.
The winery
Bodegas Arzuaga Navarro is one of the quality benchmarks of Ribera del Duero and one of the great wineries of our country. It produces modern wines with a fruit-forward expression, powerful yet elegant and balanced, and with a marked character of what a great Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero has to offer.
The brilliant journey of Bodegas Arzuaga Navarro began in the early nineties thanks to the determination of Florentino Arzuaga, a hospitality entrepreneur who sought to establish a cutting-edge winery project on the banks of the Duero. To achieve this, he chose one of the most privileged areas of this production zone, which was then in full expansion: the municipality of Quintanilla de Onésimo (Valladolid), in the area known as the “golden mile” of Ribera del Duero, where illustrious names such as Vega Sicilia and Finca Villacreces are located.
The winery's first vineyard was planted in the early nineties at Finca La Planta, a 1400-hectare estate located a few kilometers from the facilities, at an altitude of over 900 meters on clay-limestone soil, giving it very particular characteristics. Finca La Planta today hosts 70 hectares of vineyards.
In addition to La Planta, Bodegas Arzuaga Navarro owns other estates in the municipalities of Quintanilla de Onésimo and on the plateau of Olivares de Duero, and continues to undertake new plantations, all organically farmed.
Furthermore, Bodegas Arzuaga Navarro has become one of the main wine tourism destinations in Ribera del Duero: it features a hotel, spa, and restaurant, as well as offering visits to Finca La Planta, where deer and wild boar can be spotted.
